Cardiovascular Services

When you’re facing heart problems – from chest pain to coronary heart disease – you want answers. Valley Baptist has been the Rio Grande Valley’s trusted heart care center for more than 90 years. That’s the difference.

Cardiac Treatment

Whether you have already suffered a heart attack, are worried about your heart attack risk or maybe you’re just beginning to notice that climbing the stairs is making your chest feel tight, we can meet you where you are. We understand your concerns, and our compassionate care ensures that you will find the answers that you need.

Your health is at the heart of what we do.

At Valley Baptist Medical Center, we have the technology and the expertise to help you get better, including:

Our cardiovascular specialists can quickly diagnose and treat your heart, catching problems early on, stabilizing you and setting you on a heart-healthy path for life. If you don’t have a cardiac care specialist or cardiac surgeon, we can put you in touch with one of our experts. He or she will work with you to find out what’s going on and map out a heart treatment plan that you understand and support.

We know how to take what’s broken and fix it.

Cardiac Catheterization Labs

In 1977, Valley Baptist opened its first cardiac-cath lab, where angioplasty, and stent-insertion procedures take place. That was followed by the Rio Grande Valley’s first open-heart surgical suite, and a second cath lab — the only Electrophysiology lab for patients with arrhythmia.

Stroke Care

Peripheral Artery Disease Treatment

If you are suffering from Periphery Artery Disease, or PAD, you know how much it hurts just to get up and walk across the room. We work with you not just to manage the problem, but also to reverse its course.
